Is it possible for a complex of a metal in the transition series to have six unpaired electrons? Explain.
Experiments show that K4[Cr(CN)6] is paramagnetic and has two unpaired electrons. The related complex K4[Cr(SCN)6] is paramagnetic and has four unpaired electrons. Account for the magnetism of each compound using the ligand field model. Predict where the SCN ion occurs in the spectro-chemical series relative to CN.
a. In the absorption spectrum of the complex ion Cr(NCS)63, there is a band corresponding to the absorption of a photon of light with an energy of 1.75 104 cm-1. Given 1 cm1 = 1.986 1023 J, what is the wavelength of this photon? b. The CrNC bond angle in Cr(NCS)63 is predicted to be 180. What is the hybridization of the N atom in the Ncs- ligand when a Lewis acid-base reaction occurs between Cr3+ and NCs- that would give a 180 CrNC bond angle? Cr(NCS)63 undergoes substitution by ethylenediamine (en) according to the equation Cr(NCS)63+2enCr(NCS)2(en)2++4NCS Does Cr(NCS)2(en)2+ exhibit geometric isomerism? Does Cr(NCS)2(en)2+ exhibit optical isomerism?
Two different compounds are known with the formula Pd(py)2Cl2, but there is only one compound with the formula Zn(py)2Cl2. The symbol py is for pyridine, a mono-dentate ligand. Explain the differences in the Pd and Zncompounds.

Trimethylphosphine, P(CH3)3, can act as a ligand by donating the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. If trimethylphosphine is added to a solution of nickel(Il) chloride in acetone, a blue compound that has a molecular mass of approximately 270 g and contains 21.5% Ni, 26.0% Cl, and 52.5% P(CH3)3 can be isolated. This blue compound does not have any isomeric forms. What are the geometry and molecular formula of the blue compound?
